  1. I'm afraid I don't like this one at all. The turtle is very indistinct and the only focal point that catches my eye is the anemone at the extreme left and the fish at upper right. I think for this to have worked you needed to get in a lot closer.
  2. This is quite a good idea, even if it has been done before, but you've spoiled it quite a bit in my opinion by cutting off the edge of the ball and leaving a little too much space above it so that the hands compete too strongly for my attention.

    It doesn't work for me aesthetically. If the bottom right object were further left it might at least have acted as a focal point to balance the object on the left but as it stands there's nothing here to take my interest.

    This works better than I at first thought. The black hanging at the top focuses attention into the middle space and the two men to the right are well caught. The only problem is the man on the left that competes too well with the others. One of the problems of street shooting, I'm afraid.
  3. This is probably a picture that means something to you personally but I don't feel it has wider appeal. There's no real sharpness and although the placement is good there's little to hold the attention. Sometimes photos require you to have been there at the time to appreciate them later.
  4. It doesn't ring any bells with me, I'm afraid. The wasted space at the top left just competes with the messy composition below. The colour is interesting but not enough so to make me like the image.
  5. Well, I have to say it, in my opinion this is a really bad picture. The shooting down at your feet thing has been done so often and it so seldom works. In this case, the light is nasty with more than a hint of flare in the top right and the out of focus trees are just horrible. Definitely one to file in the bin.

    I'm afraid that, in my opinion, you haven't got this right at all. It looks out of focus on the screen and the flower doesn't fill enough of the frame. The plus point is that the angle you chose is very good.

    A competent shot but it doesn't have any focal point to it that I can see. The masses of red overpower the humour of the bottle. I'm afraid it's one of those pictures that look better in your head than on paper.
  6. It's a bit messy with the white petals at the top right. As it's digital anyway, I'd be inclined to do something to soften the buds behind the central flower. It's not a bad shot in my opinion but it's not terribly good either.

    I think this is an irritating shot because you have so very nearly got it right but then you've over-egged the pudding. That strange extension of the boy's finger and the jarryingly sharp fractal shapes to the right spoil an otherwise very nicely conceived and executed image.
  7. As a beginner's shot it's very good. Some things to note, though: you've got an ugly intrusion at top right that spoils the dome and you might have given it a little more impact if you'd stepped forward a bit and tilted the camera up more so that the dome dominated the image instead of competing with the two arches.
  8. A good try but this type of shot has been done so often and so well that you've got a very hard act to follow. You've nearly got the depth of field under control but not quite so that the tail is out of focus. The lighting is nice although the shadow on the birds lower body is a bit disconcerting. To me it's not quite there.

    It's a bit of a failure in my opinion. I think it would have worked much better for me with more depth of field because I find the out of focus wave very displeasing. The placement of the ring is very good and gives a clue to how nice the image could have been.

    It's an interesting idea but I'm not sure it quite works, possibly because the sky needs to be brought out more to point up the eeriness. I like the way the edges fade out to form a natural frame.
  9. There's nothing especially wrong with this picture in my opinion but there's nothing especially right either. Overall, it seems rather weak to me with no interaction with the subject and no real focal point. Compositionally it's not bad although the bright area at bottom right is a distraction rather than an aid. Technically it seems a little grey giving the impression of having no true black anywhere.
